Comments on The Harbinger's Head for Android

★★★★★ Sunry K · Aug 12, 2019
I only wish it was longer! I wish I could've interacted more with the Callahan throughout my life (like good friends). But it was really well written and I especially love the Callahan's character. It was well portrayed. It was more linear and shorter than most cog games but def worth a read (the price is lower too). I JUST WISH IT WAS LONGER.
★★★★☆ Ha Rade · Mar 22, 2022
An Okay story. Not boring but nothing to get hyped about either, I was interested & Curious but not necessarily immersed. I like how you are able to replay the chapter if you die instead of having to replay the whole story, though if you'd have to it's not that long. I replayed the 2nd to last chapter a few times, Dying by the Witch after she kills the Headless & her Sister dies, Killing the Witch after she kills the harbinger & Killing the Witch whilst retrieving the headless's head.
★★★★★ Veloce Vayford · Jul 20, 2018
A well written cog, a bit short but considering the shockingly low price it's an amazing deal.
★★★★☆ Raindrop Deer · Jun 24, 2021
The story was fun with I guess some bits of mystery and I loved hiw our charter interacts with the harbinger and I loved how simple the story was and jow grounded it felt but i kind of wish the story could be updated manly because I played through most of the story and heard most of the dilologe and it kind of got repetitive and soon i kind of started to just click through dialogue and zooming through the story.
★☆☆☆☆ Socially Undead · Apr 13, 2021
Extremely awkward and rushed with no real character development. It wasn't worth it.

Description by Hosted Games Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Visit a myth-infested 1820s Ireland. One dark (if not particularly stormy) night, you find yourself face to face with a frightening visage—or lack thereof. Though shaped like a man, the creature you’ve encountered appears to have lost his head. Worse, he seems to think you might be the one to blame!

"The Harbinger's Head" is a fantastic 46,000 word interactive horror novel by Kim Berkley, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

It’s up to you to prove your innocence and discover the true thief of the harbinger's head before your own winds up on the chopping block!

• Play as male, female, or non-binary.
• Step into the shoes of an herbalist, schoolteacher, or lamplighter.
• Shape your personality and build your skills through the choices you make, or trust your luck at your own peril.
• Make friends—or enemies—of the various Fae creatures you’ll encounter along the way.
• Discover one of eight endings…or meet an untimely death.
